Amazing what you get for this price. Easy to use with a Pico and Micropython. Returns a 4x4 or 8x8 array of values. Still playing with all the features in the demo, but will definitely find a good use for it.

The Pimoroni VL53L5CX breakout is a lovely little board, and up to 6V supply, that could be interesting for 6v servo / battery projects. It is surprisingly small, perfectly so, attached to my Adafruit QTPY ESP32S2 + Audio BFF it's going to make the worlds smallest Theremin even smaller (Previously was using the Sparkfun version, which is also excellent, having two Qw/QT connectors instead of one but larger in width - 1inch and more expensive)

This is an EXCELLENT ToF sensor since it's 8x8 multizone! Very few models of breakout boards are available, but Pimoroni's are great since they're very compact and are fully 5V compliant (with built-in voltage regulator and level shifters). They also place the VL53L5CX chip by itself on one side of the board which helps ease physical design issues and allows flush mounting of the board with the chip inserted in a "sight hole". Price of the board was quite competitive with boards from other companies (but other boards lacked critical features that Pimoroni's board have as standard). Delivery was very fast (only about 1 week to ship from UK to the US). Bottom line: GREAT BOARD! WILL BE BUYING MORE!
